Sparkle Drive & Hotcake (for kimbeng)

[dbenc]

sounds real noisy

[t2t80]

the noise is a result of the single coils and the tube amp

wats up dude how do i get a good distortion sound 4 playin open chords...i have a epiphone les paul and when i play open chords 4 like choruses the e minor sounds horrible...pls help

[fsleadguitarist]

usually overdrive pedals sound better than distortion pedals for open chords, but a lot of how good/bad they sound is in how you play them. like idk how much you know about music and chord structure, but if you can mute some of the 3rds and mainly play the 5ths of an open chord, it gives it a better sound IMO

[iliecostin]

@DanielMudaly7593 open chords almost never sound good with distortion because the way the guitars are made. I should take a look at the true temperament type guitars.

Hi,

Great video, can I ask how u r powering your Sparkle Drive, I have a Proctavia and cant use my power brick which is a real pain.

Many THanks

It's because the proctavia uses germanium diodes. you need an adapter with a positive tip as opposed to one with a negative one (like the brink provides)

[noelweller]

Much sexier when I thought The chick was playing

[StriferDiem]

Where can you get a Hotcake? Does Crowther have his own website? No stores seem to keep them in stock.

[carlfia]

buy some socks

[benjaminlovesthepeda]

Why would i wear socks indoors?

[jehabana]

gonna get a hotcake soon.. how gainy does it get?

[benjaminlovesthepeda]

It has a fair bit of gain on tap... i'd say it goes into med-high gain area.

[AndersonGuitar]

why do you have a woman voice on the overdrives pedals demo? o.o

[leafylemontree]

It sort of sounds like the same person (the woman and the man). Maybe he computerized his voice to make it sound higher? ... I dunno maybe not but the voices just talk similar.

[noelwannabe]

yess gettin a hot cake soon

my idol noel gallagher uses it so i must have it.

will it give me a good solo boost

[benjaminlovesthepeda]

[piceofham]

[benjaminlovesthepeda]

It's a very nice pedal. It's one i've never doubted keeping since the day i got it.
